Why does RNI calculate Adjusted EBITDA?

From time to time, RNI discloses so-called non-GAAP financial measures, primarily Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA means income before net financial revenue (expenses), income and social contribution taxes, equity pick up, corporate restructuring expenses and depreciation and amortization. The adjusted EBITDA presents limitations that affect its use as a measure of the Company’s profitability, as it does not include certain costs related to its business that could significantly affect its profits, such as financial expenses, income taxes, capital expenses and other related disbursements.

Adjusted EBITDA is not Brazilian or the U.S. GAAP measurement, does not represent cash flows for the periods presented and should not be considered alternatives to net income as an indicator of RNI’ operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows as an indicator of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning and RNI’ definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA as used by other companies.

Although the Adjusted EBITDA does not provide, according to the Brazilian Accounting Principles (BR GAAP) or the U.S. Accounting Principles (US GAAP), measures of the operational cash flows, RNI management uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure its operating performance. Additionally, the Company management believes that disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA can provide useful information to investors, financial analysts and the public in their review of the Company’s operating performance and its comparison to the operating performance of other companies in the same industry and other industries.
